He's clearly not 100% yet, which is understandable of course. The goal was a bit of a fluke as the d-man shot a wrister from the blueline which first hit the opponent and then apparently Hardt in front of the net. He was just screening the goalie and I think it just happened to hit him. That kind of dirty work he does is actually very important for Jokerit since their offense is full of skilled guys looking for pretty plays.

But then again a great part of his goal are made that way fighting in front of the box - he is rarely scoring on "pretty plays" neither on the Danish NT. So it's good to see he feels ready to go into the "beating" ZONE.
